If you want your car to turn heads today and sell for more tomorrow, the right cleaning and protection products make all the difference. Automotive Coatings of York proudly offers a wide range of products that enhance appearance, fight corrosion, and help preserve long-term value. In this blog, we’ll focus on three of these products, their uses, and why they’re right for your automobile. 

Barricade: Penetrating Rust Protection for Metal Parts
Barricade Rust Protection drives moisture out of metal pores and leaves a clear, protective film that seals the surface. Originally trusted by firearm owners for its extreme anti-corrosion performance, Barricade withstands tough humidity and salt exposure tests, making it a smart choice for automotive metal components like tools, exposed fasteners, under-hood hardware, and garage gear. It also helps loosen rusty or frozen parts and provides light lubrication—ideal for preventing small rust spots from becoming big problems. Reducing corrosion protects appearance, prevents costly repairs, and helps your vehicle age better—key advantages when it’s time to trade in or sell.

Quick Shine Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish: Smudge-Free Shine for Metal Surfaces
Crisp, clean metal surfaces signal that a car has been cared for. Quick Shine Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish removes fingerprints, smudges, and grease while restoring a bright, streak-free finish. It also leaves a protective barrier that resists future marks, so surfaces stay cleaner longer. Use it on stainless and brightwork around your garage, detailing equipment, tool chests, and any stainless automotive accessories. A consistently polished, professional look boosts buyer confidence and the perceived value of your vehicle and gear.

Krown Salt Eliminator: Fight Salt, Stop Rust, Protect Value
Road salt and liquid deicers are a top cause of premature rust—especially on frames, wheel wells, brakes, and undercarriages. Krown Salt Eliminator pulls salt away from metal so it can be rinsed off, reducing surface rust and leaving a beading, waxy finish. It works in any wash system and is designed for heavy-duty use. You can even dilute it to lift salty stains from carpets. Regular salt removal improves the look of your paint and wheels now, slows corrosion that shortens vehicle life, and preserves structural integrity—critical to maintaining resale value. 

Why these three products matter together

  • Better first impressions: Clean, glossy metal and salt-free paint and wheels show real care.
  • Longer lifespan: Moisture displacement and salt removal help prevent corrosion that leads to repairs.
  • Higher resale: Documented maintenance and a corrosion-free underbody can set your car apart and justify a stronger price.
